What were the effects of mass society in the 19th century and in the present? How did it influence and contribute to the bigger picture of the time besides in society?

The basic structure of mass society called for a greater civilization in terms of equality and urbanization than arguably ever seen in some regions of the world. Basically, mass society gave voting rights to the lower classes, improved living conditions, and further mass education. The developments in rights also called for the beginning of feminists that finally could have a chance at reaching full citizenship. The 19th century mass society is the basis of our nations today in which all classes are treated equally and education is for all. The growth of urbanization and the means of something to do with time off led to mass leisure. The leisure the populations in the 19th century enjoyed include the Ferris wheel at amusement parks and team sports that large crowds came to see. The NBA and the MLB are actually products of the development of leisure in the 19th century as well as the state fair. Fans took the subways to games much like those in San Francisco when people flock to AT&T Park. Mass socialism during its time also led to the success of politicians in the National States. The economic growth in Latin America around 1870 was also a byproduct of the prosperity their outlets in Europe saw in Mass society. Much like that in Europe, Latin America saw the rise of a middle class that included lawyers and merchants. In 1870, Latin America also saw a change in politics as large landowners took an interest in national politics. The internal prosperity of mass socialism for the most part created additional success in politics and the economy as well as other aspects of the empires. Even today, the success of mass society is shared.

...five year old chanted and swayed along with the hyper-colourful cavorting youngsters on the commercial. Even after the TV was off, she hopped around the room proclaiming her desire to belong to the Nickelodeon network.
We know the girl didn't realize what she was saying, but it's an excellent example of how malleable human beings are. Television is an unprecedented powerful medium, combining rapid sight and sound in a way that has a tremendous and impacted psychologicaleffect. Companies wouldn't pay millions of dollars for a 30-second commercial during major sporting events like the Olympics if this weren't the case. Adults may not run around their living rooms chanting "I want to
drive a Land cruiser!" but millions of them flock to car showrooms every year to purchase all-terrain vehicles half the price of a unit that will never touch any terrain but pavement.
Various media ranging from adverts such as these, to so-called
movie classics' like "The Godfather" are negative influences on today's society. Millions every day are forced to sit through programs that portray actors doing things which most would find unethical and wrong. So what's the difference between watching someone acting out a murder or sex scene on television, and witnessing the real thing firsthand?
Why is it that, if we were to accidentally open the wrong hotel room door and find a man and woman doing certain things together, we would feel everything from...

In 19th and 20th century, British and French were the two of the most influential country in the world. At that time, Great Britain was the first colonial country in the world. They controlled the 1/3 lands of the world. France also was an industrialized nation with a large empire. They colonized lots of country and became the second colonial country. These two countries were all interested in Africa where have lots of oil, gold, diamond and plenty of good resources for them to exploit.

...Living in a society which depends mostly upon technology for news, entertainment and education, the mass media is one of the greatest influential factors on the opinions and viewpoints of the younger generation. Some examples of media influences include magazines, internet, television, books and radio. All of these sources help shape the beliefs of what social life, culture, religion, or politics should be in the minds of younger people, sometimes at unrealistic standards. The mass media is a very helpful and relatively quick way to gain knowledge and insight as to what is going on in the world, but as with anything else, where there are positive effects, the negatives will soon follow.
“Youths now have access to more violent images than at any other time in United States history, and these images are available in a diverse array of electronic sources: television, movies, video games, and music.” (Alexander and Hanson 384) The mass media is becoming very powerful, maybe even beyond the point of sole entertainment. When it comes to the younger generation, the power and influence of the media isn’t necessarily a good thing. The violence that the younger generation is exposed to on a daily basis seems to have a direct correlation to the rise of violence in society today. “It must remembered and realized that if we are hateful and violent, both children and adults, but especially the...

...ECONOMY, SOCIETY AND POLITICS IN 19THCENTURY LONDON
Using visual evidence such as artworks, prints and photographs, explore how contemporaries interpreted changes in nineteenth-century London in ONE of the following themes:
(i) Streets
(ii) Poverty
(iii) The Thames
(iv) The home
The theme of “Streets” in nineteenth century London encompasses many aspects of Victorian societal development. Indeed, studying the large-scale improvement scheme of London’s streets in the nineteenth century brings to light the radical change in sanitation levels, the presence of poverty and social disparity which was still rife and the advent of leisure and a growing middle class, visible in new public spaces which continue on from the street, such as parks and gardens. These ideas will form around the analysis of three pieces of visual art dating from nineteenth century London.
Let us first look at Figure 1 of the crossing sweeper and the lady. In this painting by William Powell Frith is depicted a typical street scene of Victorian London. Indeed, crossing sweepers were very present, as expressed by Henry Mayhew in his extensive study of London, London Labour and the London Poor: “We can scarcely walk along a street of any extent, or pass through a square of the least pretensions to "gentility", without meeting one or more of these private scavengers.” (Mayhew, 1861). These...

...MIDDLE CLASS WOMEN’S PLACE & ROLES IN THE 19THCENTURY U.S. SOCIETY
[pic]
Section: Cassia
Women were always faced specifically in history by men until they became equal to them. In the story “The yellow wallpaper” the author Charlotte Perkins Gilman says some things about the way women were treated by men back then in the 19thcentury. Women’s roles and place in the 19thcentury American society are very humiliating, rational for this society and weird. Women back then were treated as “something” not as “someone” that is to say useless beings, that do not have brains.
The yellow wallpaper symbolizes something that impacts her instantly. Through the yellow wallpaper we can see that the woman is soiled and ripped just like the dirty yellow wallpaper “It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper! It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw – not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things” (Charlotte Perkins Gilman, part 6, page 11). Moreover Gilman uses the woman who is affected by the yellow wallpaper to show that women in that time were trapped an inner world, which was the main reason for their insanity “I didn’t realize for a long time what the thing was that showed behind, that dim sub-pattern,...

...The Impact of Multiculturalism on Western Societies Since the 19thCentury
Since the beginning of the 19thcentury the topic of multiculturalism has raised many issues in our society. Migration tendencies, the growing number of minorities, support groups for refugees and immigrants, and an increase in knowledge of human rights, have split our governments and our nations. Media outlets are constantly turning out stories on boat people, multiculturalism, cultural pluralism, Islam, terrorists attacks etc, which can make anyone’s head hurt trying to understand it all and what it means to us. In this essay I will go back to where multiculturalism was first accepted as a government policy and how it has affected western society to the present day.
“We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams” (Jimmy Carter, 1924).
Multiculturalism once known as the ‘melting pot’ or ‘mosaic’ is a term that covers three areas: it can refer to a society that is described by ethnic or cultural heterogeneity; it can refer to a principle of mutual respect and equality; and to government policy promoting and protecting diversity (Driedger and Burnet, 2011, n.p).
Government multicultural policies can include: dual citizenship; government support for newspapers, television and radio in...
